Team Review: x marks the spot? (Matt 'Tazza' Tarrant)

Matt's Team- Can it be triumphant in 2013/14?

So guys, here’s my awesomeo teamo!!!!! You've heard me
banging on about my team plenty in the group but good ol' Ben has given ME the
opportunity to do it for the FINAL time (no guarantees). I’ll just go through
each player and state why I picked them and why you shouldn't! Just to make it
more interesting...

Mignolet- I
picked him because he is a solid GK that did well at Sunderland and is now at
the ‘powerhouse’ of Liverpool where he should do even better! Especially with a
decent early draw.

You shouldn't pick because he is vanilla flavoured, owned by
27.6%!! Or is it better to be safe than sorry?

Harper- I picked
him as he is a 4.0 GK for hull that may play.

You shouldn't pick him... well,
it’s pretty self-explanatory really.

Cole- I picked
him because he is nailed on for two starts in Chelsea’s ever so crucial DGW.
Also gives me an advantage if Ivanovic fails to play in one of the games.

You shouldn't pick him because he’s not a good long term option and at 6.5 is quite
expensive.

Coleman- I picked
him as he plays for Everton and will not only benefit from clean sheets but
potential attacking returns especially if a 3-4-3 is utilised.

You shouldn’t
pick him as Everton haven’t been amazingly tight this pre-season, not even registering one clean sheet.

Rat- I picked him
as I think West Ham are guaranteed a couple clean sheets in the opening month.

You shouldn’t pick him as there are plenty of other options that could be
better.

Collins- same
reasons as Rat, is a slight doubt of playing but will be warming the bench first
gameweek anyway.

Chester- refer to
Harper.

Mirallas- Again,
plays for Everton but is a better pick as he has killed pre-season with 4 goals
and 2 assists and playing in the ever attacking LW position. Is still reasonably unique
and could be a bargain for his potential.

You shouldn’t pick him as there’s
always an unknown when picking someone you don’t know well and he has had a
history of injuries.

Lallana- with an
eye to GW3 I needed a solid backup mid for Hazard on the cheap. No risk, high
reward. Will be traded after GW3 (or possibly before) if he doesn't fire.

You
shouldn’t pick him as there are cheaper options who potentially may produce at a similar output and he can’t be trusted for a starting spot, and thus is a pretty expensive
bench player.

Rest of the Mids- doubt
it needs much explaining, all good premium midfielders and in my opinion are the three
best. There are of course other options! Taking the risk on Walcott playing as
he has been dominant in his pre-season matches.

Anelka- Very
popular pick, he wasn't convincing me until late pre-season when his form just
got better and better!

You shouldn’t pick him as he has the potential to flop
like a pancake!!!

Soldado- As
Tottenham’s lone striker should dominate Palace especially without Bale! Was
between him and Lukaku but I thought Soldado can match Lukaku despite the DGW
and is a better long term option.

You shouldn’t pick him as he is quite
expensive for a player who we haven’t seen much of, and don’t know exactly how
he’ll handle the Premier League.

Benteke- Very
convinced he will score well. Only start with him if you see him as a long term
option and I see exactly that. Should capitalize on the double by notching at
least a goal or two.

You shouldn’t pick him if you’re too worried about his
tough fixture or gw3 blank.

Anyway, there it is guys! Wildcard plan like many I think is
wait until Bale and/or VP fires so I can restructure my team around them. Hope
I helped but at the same time forced you into indecision! Haha!
